Brethertons Achieves Top Score in Legal 500 League Table

 

Brethertons has once again featured strongly in the latest edition of the Legal 500 – the comprehensive annual review of the legal industry.

This year the firm had four new practice areas recognised by the researchers: Agriculture and Estates, Corporate & Commercial, IP & IT and PI: Claimant.  Other departments recognised include: Commercial Litigation, Commercial Property, Debt Recovery, Employment, Family and Wills, Tax and Trusts.

 

Partner Shaun Jardine explains: “We are delighted our lawyers have been recognised for their continued hard work, commitment and expertise.  It is a tremendous tribute to their efforts that we continue to be rated as a quality firm.”

From the Legal 500 – Areas where the firm’s teams are singled-out for particular praise include:

Recommended in Commercial Litigation: Brethertons LLP’s team has outstanding property litigation expertise, and serves as honorary solicitors to the Institute of Residential Property Management. Shaun Jardine is ‘accessible, cheerful and has an iron fist for the opponent’, while legal executive Sioban Calcott has ‘a very quick grasp of the facts and is able to suggest appropriate courses of action’.

Recommended in Commercial Property: Mary Anderson heads Brethertons LLP’s commercial property team and has considerable experience in secured lending transactions, representing both lenders and project financiers.

Recommended in Debt Recovery: “Headed by Shaun Jardine, Brethertons LLP is praised for its “can-do” mentality’, and is instructed by national and international clients, including property management companies and wine producers. The team maintains its presence on the panel of Top Service, which has brought in instructions from construction clients.”

Recommended in Employment: “Brethertons LLP’s team advised on the exit of a number of directors from organisations.”

Recommended in Agricultural Law: “Brethertons LLP has a ‘small, strong and well-connected’ team, which includes ‘exceptional’ new addition Tristram van Lawick. Elizabeth Young is another contact.”

Recommended in Family: “Brethertons LLP’s Simon Craddock, an ‘excellent and leading practitioner in international child abduction cases’, is regularly appointed in Hague Convention cases.” “Brethertons LLP has four trained collaborative lawyers and considerable experience in representing parents in international child abduction cases. Linda Jones gives ‘superb advice’, and is a Resolution-accredited specialist in the area of pension law issues within family proceedings.”

Recommended in IP & IT:  “Brethertons LLP has been advising on a wide range of issues, including software licensing agreements. Brian Auld is the key contact.”

This accolade follows the recent news that Brethertons has received national recognition of its practice management standards, having been awarded the Law Society’s Lexcel Quality Certification.  In addition, five senior experts were recognised as ‘Leaders in their Field’ specialising in the areas of Litigation, Insolvency, mediation, commercial property, commercial secured lending and Child Abduction - according to the independent legal ‘bible’ Chambers UK 2011
